Thermometers are usually graded with either the Celsius or Fahrenheit scales or both. Sometimes (if circumstances require) they are graded with the Kelvin scale.
Thermometers need numbers on a scale to give a temperature reading.
Temperature scale used on most laboratory thermometers is a thermometer.

Modern thermometers are made of alcohol or Mercury, and uses the Fahrenheit scale and the Celsius scale.

No, mercury is not present in all types of thermometers. While mercury thermometers are common, other types such as digital thermometers and infrared thermometers do not contain mercury. Mercury thermometers are being phased out due to environmental concerns.

Modern thermometers are typically made of materials such as glass, plastic, or metal. The most common type of modern thermometer is the digital thermometer, which includes a temperature sensor and a digital display screen. Other types of modern thermometers may contain mercury or alcohol as the temperature-sensitive material.
Digital and clinical thermometers are not necessarily the same. Digital thermometers can encompass a wider range of types, including both clinical and non-clinical variations. Clinical thermometers, on the other hand, are specifically designed for medical use to measure body temperature accurately.
The degrees are the same size on both thermometers. But when the two thermometers are side by side and at the same temperature, the number of the reading on the Celsius thermometer is 273.15 higher than the number of the reading on the Kelvin thermometer.
